BBC Three has revealed they will be releasing a documentary on the 2017 Manchester terror attack.

The film has currently been given the working title Manchester Bomb: The Girls’ Story and will follow the lives of of some of the female survivors who were caught up in the bombing.

Over the past six months, a film crew has been documenting the recovery of the 11 to 28-year-olds who were caught up in the bombing, and will explore everything from their counselling sessions to their hospital appointments.

It will look in depth at the psychological impact on the girls who were there on that fateful evening, as well as taking into account the ripple effect the bombing has left behind on their family and friends.

Director Lizzie Kempton said (via Digital Spy): ‘I feel so privileged to have been filming with these girls. No-one can truly understand what they and their families have been through but I hope this documentary can give some insight and show the strength of these girls at such a difficult time in their lives.’

BBC Three controller Damian Kavanagh added: “Because this attack happened to young people, we felt it was vital that we found a way to tell the inspirational stories of those that were affected by this awful event as they rebuild their lives.

‘It is an incredibly important film for BBC Three and we’re delighted that Lizzie, who is a talented first time film-maker, has made this film.’

Last May, 22 innocent people were killed after watching Ariana Grande perform at the Manchester Arena when a nail bomb was detonated in the venue’s lobby.

The singer fled back home revealing to her Twitter followers that she had ‘no words’ to reflect her grief.

However, two weeks after the event, the 24-year-old returned to the city with her pals from the music industry and threw the emotional One Love concert in memory of the victims.

She was joined by the likes of Will.i.am, Katy Perry, Coldplay and Miley Cyrus .
